@train259. 3 F7A's (620-622) and an F9A (619) were the only ones used. I guess you could say there was a 4th F7A (623). But was never rebuilt, painted or saw any service time. Just used as parts.
Just to let you know FL9s were never owned by the LIRR. They were borrowed to test out the C1 bi-levels though. LIRR did have F units they were four F7As that were gutted out and had HEP generator in them. This was also done to the Alco FA1 and FA2 engines.
its got a K5LA on it too!
